Be Bright Be Seen Week⭐

Days are getting shorter, but your visibility shouldn't be!🚶‍♂️

This Be Bright, Be Seen Week, we are reminding everyone to upgrade their outdoor gear. Whether you are walking the dog, cycling to work, or heading home from school, being visible to drivers saves lives.

Bright coat? Check👚
Reflective strips? Check🔦
Bike lights on? Check🚴

Don't blend into the background. Stand out and stay safe!

How are you staying bright this week? Snap a selfie in your high-vis gear and tag us!📷

Summer 2026 Memories☀️

Daniel recently had a wonderful holiday in Skegness alongside Shared Lives Carers, Ninna and Richard.

During their stay, they enjoyed a variety of entertainment, including tribute acts, with Daniel especially loving the Tom Jones performance🎶

They also attended a delightful cheese and w**e party and spent time exploring and enjoying everything the holiday had to offer.

A fantastic trip full of great memories, good company, and plenty of fun!😊

A fantastic day out in Filey!😀

Shared Lives carers Maria and Charlotte enjoyed a lovely day trip to Filey last week with Matthew, Will, David and Harriet. Travelling by train made the adventure even more exciting, and everyone had a wonderful time exploring the seaside.

The group especially enjoyed a game of crazy golf and had lots of fun trying their luck on the slot machines⛳

Lots of lovely memories were made✨
